What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
Trapped in traffic on the road to hell
2
With no soul to sell
3
Took the first exist I passed
4
Went to find a motel
5
Wound up broke down in a ghost town
6
Nowhere to phone for help
7
I asked the vultures where to run to
8
& they muttered "Go for self."
9
I climbed out of that grave,
10
A dream that gave way
11
To a daisy chain made of days;
12
plastic wrappers,
13
cigarettes,
14
cough drops
15
rest stops,
16
Wal-marts,
17
snatching up the jacks
18
before the ball drops
19
It all falls apart
20
Moonlight rises
21
at my back
22
before I have time to react
23
or memorize my raps"¦
24
Nevermind finding the way back
25
I'm flying blind
26
grinding my break pads into dust
27
Just in it for the laughs
28
My words turned into symbols of invisible math
29
Like witchcraft;
30
the crowd became a critical mass
31
that was tipping toward collapse"¦
32
slipping from my grasp"¦
33
friend's all pulled the rip-cord,
34
wished me all the best
35
I went digging in the dash
36
and found a map back to the rest.
37
I made it on my last gallon of gas
38
and a stack of bad checks
39
nothing to show for the stress
40
but a fresh load of debt
41
and a cold in my chest.
42
(Chorus)
43
"“But if I got one breath left"“
44
I will hold it in my chest like the shit ain't over yet.
45
"“But if I got one breath left"“
46
I will keep it a secret, my only defense
47
"“But if I got one breath left"“
48
I will rip off the oxygen mask, spit off the top of my head
49
"“But if I got one breath left"“
50
I'll suck wind from the valley of death.
51
I burn holes into my writing bench
52
putting out the spark
53
then relight "˜em in the dark.
54
I walk the night watch.
55
I mark the progress of my thoughts
56
Present my reports to the break"“
57
the break of dawn"“
58
stalling on my wake up calls,
59
Leave some paint on the walls
60
Play through the pain for the weight gain on tour, Same as the great names who came before"“I acknowledge their presence but keep on rocking in the present!
61
What good is the art if it doesn't bother anyone?
62
The arc of the setting sun
63
a rotten millenium
64
Still tripping on it's tongue
65
Choking on the shit in it's lungs
66
mimicking buzz,
67
A one-trick-gimmick-drug
68
With an ugly side-effect
69
I ain't too high to realize it yet!
70
I let it all ride on a fool's bet,
71
and do it to the death!
72
And listen for the silence while I
73
scream it at the deaf!
74
If they come to get me next,
75
My lungs will be emptiness.
76
Without a second thought or pause,
77
half step,
78
or idle threat"“
79
I will summon something from the depth
80
and fucking come correct
81
Even if I got one"¦ left"¦
82
(Chorus)
